Dark Greetings House Marka Ragnos,

I held off getting this report out for a very important reason; by now we all know that our Sword of Ragnos and Night Hawks Battleteam Leader, Jade Atema, had been promoted! To mark this occasion I have wrote a little heart-felt fiction (below). I hope you all enjoy it... especially you Jade! ^-^

<><><>

As Equals We Stand, by Ashura Isradia (4782)

So it had finally happened; the potential he helped her unlock on their travels was finally recognised. For a long time Jade Imperial had been on the threshold between Journeymen and Equite class, powerful than the average Dark Jedi Knight, but just not powerful enough to become a Equite.

That had changed in her recent years, her marriage the Ylith Atema had played a vital part in what she had become. His betrayal and her hate pushed her further and deeper into the very nature of the dark side of the Force. It had been Ashura Isradia, Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos, who finally pushed to reach all she could be… ascension from a mere Knight to a Priestess.

Of course Ashura hadn’t done it for her at first; the woman was tool in his plans to grow more powerful and lead the Brotherhood, to remove the blinded arrogance of the Star Chamber for their failure at Antei. Arrogance bred stupidity, perhaps if they weren’t so blind they would have heeded the word of the Sith Lord who predicted the fall of the Antei system to the Vong.

However a journey is ever changing and Ashura realised his path by helping Jade with hers; ironic how the Force had a way of twisting and turning peoples lives. His path, for now, would lead him away from the Dark Brotherhood. His son, Alector, would be a reminder to those he knew that an Isradia still walked the halls of Clan Naga Sadow.

“Master,” the Krath said as she entered his office, “you summoned me.”

“Priestess Atema, our journey together must come to an end. Our paths must separated, I am to leave this Clan once I have settled all affairs,” the Sith said from where he sat, looking at her.

“Mast...”

Ashura raised his hand to cut Jade off from speaking, “When Tyren first sent you here, wounded and betrayed by the man you loved, I finally saw you passing through the threshold of your potential. I took it upon myself to channel your anger, your revenge, and allow you to unlock that which you feared the most; your darkness.

“However it needed to be fuelled, to be fanned, to burn more passionately then it ever done in all your life. I decided to take you to worlds strong in the dark side of the Force to nurture. I path you a means for a revenge, the Sith Order can be a powerful tool of motivation. And I saw you flourish, your powers mature, your very nature enhanced by the darkness within you.

“You were an Equite long before you took this new rank; it is only a title after all. What you believe to be in your heart is true, not what some rank tells you. You became an Equite, an Equal a long time ago. Shin'ichi is lucky to have someone like you on his side.”

The Battlemaster grinned evilly at Jade as the look on her face was priceless; how did he know that Shin’ichi had taken her on as another apprentice.

“It is convenient really; our time together is coming to an end while your time with Shin is just starting. He is much like you used to bed, on the threshold of becoming something far greater than an Equite.”

Isradia then stood up and walked around to wear Jade was standing. “I do, however, have one favour to ask you, Priestess.”

A small smile spread upon the woman’s face as she looked at her Quaestor, understanding now that they were equals, not only in the eyes of the Brotherhood, but to each other too. “Name it, Ashura.”

“I would very much like someone to keep an eye on my son, to be his guardian here once I have transferred to Rogue. He is…very…energetic and mischievous.”

“Yes,” replied Jade as she didn’t need him to finish, “I would be honored to keep an eye on the boy and keep him out of any mischief.”

The Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos grinned slightly. All was well.

Independence Games 2008

Surprise, surprise, the games are still going. Many are not hard to do, if you're unsure which ones to do then drop me an e-mail. Click here to go to see which events are running!

Return of the Primus

As we all know Trev has stepped down as PCON; Tron has replaced him. We all have are Dark Primus back with us. Trev proved a point he could still lead a House and Clan after many years of enjoying retirement.

Clan Overlord = Proconsul

Like I mentioned above; Tron has become Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow. I think, and people are welcome to correct me that this is Tron's first time a PCON? He's been CON and QUA before (although not sure about being AED?)

I'm off to London today as I have a outpatients appointment tomorrow; so why go today, ah, I'll stay over at a friends house and probably watch Iron Man again. ;)

I saw last Saturday but it’s such a kick arse movie that I am going to watch it again. Yes, I am a Shan-Long of the Marvel Universe. :D
